Has anybody built this recently? Just got the plans so any advice/help will be much appreciated.
At 86 it's years since I built a model!!

Royce - The only number on the plan is 337A/B

Thanks royce, good point! I can't quite work out where the individual sides are on the plan, nor the deck? It's not very clear at all.
I will probably make a lot of the non loaded bits out of balsa to get the weight down!

I find this forum very confusing, how to reply to a specific post and why doesn't the latest post appear at the top?

Any way, many thanks roycv for your most helpful and informative post.

So, complete the 3D model from the formers, crutches (the formers sit on these) and keel, great.

How does one normally transfer (for example) the deck outline from the drawing to the plywood sheet? I was thinking of using carbon paper? I could of course cut out the profile from the plan and stick it onto the deck ply?

Again, many thanks for all your very detailed help. I am copying them and posting them in Pages document so I don't have to navigate the forum page!🤣

Almost ready to start applying the plywood sides so wondering which is the best way to go, especially at the bow where a compound bend is required to fit the frame profile.
Can one soak the plywood to make it more flexible? I'm only using 0.8mm plywood.

A few pictures of progress to date. Just a few finishing touches and t'will be time for sea trials!

This 86yo is quite chuffed!!

Sea trials, well canal actually. Sure can go FAST! Drove the dog mad but not bad for a first outing.
I'm going to put a breakwater on the bow area as I got splashes going into the hatch. Must also make the hatch more secure as it came up a bit probably during a miss judged high speed turn!!
Think some small magnets in deck and hatch?

I like building, not playing with them iso my MM337 Thorneycroft MTB Model Boat is going to be sold.
Any suggestions where the best place would be to sell please? I thought I saw somewhere on here asking for boats but can't see it??
Cheers

Just about finished build and come to hull painting.
I must have done something wrong here. I stupidly painted the raw wood with a Tamya spray. It looked all right but when I added a second, and third and fourth coat, sanding in between, every coat now blisters!!
Should I go back to clean wood and how can one do that please?
